Comcast is beginning a 1 Gbps advanced trial for residential and business customers in Atlanta, laying a competitive challenge to Google Fiber with its own similarly priced 1 Gbps service. But while the cable MSO is following Google’s pricing scheme, it’s not without a catch.
Eligible customers in Atlanta will be able to get the 1 Gbps data service for $70 a month only if they agree to sign a three-year contract or $139.95 a month without a contract.
